Hi all I am way behind the eight ball at the moment.My old computer died of
memory loss . So i had to buy a new one. Been away to my sons hockey
tournement. They won the tournement Cup and i have just come out of hospital
after having a hernia operation. my apologies if this is abit late.
I remember someone was having problems with boron.
There are two ways to fix trace element deficiencies, like boron.
1. Is to use a foliar spray programme made from fish, seaweed,
chicken, and horse manure with molasses added as a buffer/ carrier.This
gives you a short term immediate fix to the plant and will allow you to
harvest a crop.
2 Make up a dry fertiliser mix of fish, seaweed, rockdust, and humic acid
and side dress your crop and lightly work into the soilwill become available
to plant s over time.
This mix added to the compost heap will provide adequate nutrients for
following years.
If you need to add raw borate mix it with compost and humic acid before
spreading and add it to the liquid fertiliser. This act as a buffer and
helps to assimualte the boron into a plant usable form more readily.
